Hi there, I'm treating my moles with Apple Cider Vinegar for 8 days now, and it won't work! I'm about to go crazy, tried 4 different acvs but my mole is simply stuck there. Not even a redness on my skin. I'm using 100% natural with 5% acidity avc. Am I doing something wrong?

Apple Cider Vinegar for mole removal: So far it has been about 2 weeks and the mole has not returned and the Apple Cider Vinegar actually worked on a mole that I had right below my nose that was slightly raised. It took about 8 days to remove the whole thing due to the fact that after day 4 the mole came off but there was still a piece of it left so I continued treatment. To avoid burning of the skin I put pieces of bandaid all around the mole than roughed up the mole with a plastic toothpick and than slept with a cotton ball soaked in Apple Cider Vinegar overnight. So far after 2 weeks, the skin's just redder where the mole was which really cannot be avoided.

Hi everyone. I need some help, please! I just started the vinegar. Treatment today.

Here is my question. My mole, on my back had a pimple beneath it and I popped it. The pimple never went away but reduced a tiny bit. The mole hurts a lil and has been this way for months maybe a year. I have lots of moles. I have a feeling this might get cancerous. My question is can the vinegar treat the cancer at all?

It works just keep putting a dab on it everyday till it turns black and then it will turn into a scab then after that its gone. But first you have to get the tip of the mole irritated and about to bleed and you can do it by rubbing with a pin or even your finger nail or what ever, but when you put the ACV on it should sting, if it does not sting then you didn't ruff up the mole to good, it has to sting to work and that tells you the ACV got inside of it.

I've always had moles, but they were smallish and "normal, " looked like big freckles. With age, and a later in life pregnancy, and lack of time in the sun (as compared to my younger days), a mole on my back had turned massive. The docs checked it out and declared it, "not likely cancerous, " and wanted to cut it off me. Horror stories concerning said doctor remedies abound and kept me from pursuing it.

About six months ago my huge back mole started itching and became a constant companion up against my bra. I also had a small, flat, dark mole on my shin that had begun to change (slightly) and grow. After researching home/natural remedies, I was not surprised to learn about ACV as I used it to cure 20 years of worsening allergies (4 years free! ).

I did not "scratch" the mole on my back, it was difficult enough just to get a bandaid on it due to its position, and the fact I'm not a contortionist by trade... lol! Enlisting the help of my 7 year old daughter, I was able to soak a folded piece of cotton (to size of mole) in ACV and apply a waterproof bandaid for 6-12 hours a day for 5 days.

By the 5th day, the mole on my back was virtually gone, just a slight bump (from much bigger than a pencil eraser sticking out! ) and redness. The bandaids (or removing them) irritated my skin but the ACV did not burn it.

The mole on my leg behaved strangely. First it darkened and spread, then it lightened, then I screwed up and royally burnt the skin around it, then it started to scab and now a couple weeks later it is still healing and scabbed. Due to the burn I stopped the ACV (also tried melealeuca oil for the burn, burned it worse! ) and healed up the surrounding skin with colloidal silver cleansings and an over the counter wound balm.

Results after five days of ACV: LARGE protruding mole on back GONE! Leg still healing and if it turns out the mole didn't totally disappear when the scab does, I'll be giving it another try (after protecting the skin surrounding it! ).

Thanks earthclinic! You saved me a few hundred bucks and a pit of a scar!

Hi there. I believe in the power of ACV, but like you, I have this doggone mole on my shin and it is giving me a run for my money. I was wondering if you had luck in the end with yours?

Mine, I've treated with ACV a few times, but am trying (diligently) again. I was able to rough it up and scab over the middle. The very center of it peeled away, but the outer portion of it remains. It's a little sore (I think from the ACV). To touch, it feels like one of those pimples you get deep under your skin.

It's symmetrical, not getting bigger. Can't even remember when it appeared but it did out of the blue. Just an eye-sore.

I've been using the ACV for 6 days now on one of my moles. Now my mole is black and has scabbed over. Do I apply more ACV on the mole or just wait for the scab to fall off on its own?

My mole scabbed over and fell off so I started to apply healing remedies, but after about three weeks the mole has grown back but is slightly more faded. Should I apply more ACV and start the whole process again?

I've been using the ACV for 5 days now on my mole that is right above my belly button. I've noticed a big change since day 1, and now it's flat. The skin on my mole is white and it's starting to peel off is that normal ? And the mole under the white layer of skin from the mole is black is that also normal and does it mean its starting to scab over?

I'm glad to see a fellow directioner who can understand my issue! I would say that you should apply the ACV at least one more time to make sure but it sounds like it is beginning to scab over. Unfortunately my mole is on my face so I will be using a more gentle treatment! If you know of any that would be great! And let me know how your removal goes! Let's talk 1D real soon!

WORKED TEMPORARILY

Hi Guys, I tried this method with a mole on my eyebrow that I had for all my life, but it had doubled in size suddenly and it became too much for me. I did the ACV method, soaking it throughout the day whenever I thought of it, and the mole began to turn brown, then black, then I started putting peroxide on it, and it dried up the scab to the point where I saw it peeling off. Eventually with ease, by the 4th or 5th day, I was able to peel it, through I noticed the bottom part of my mole seemed to still be in tact a bit. I put neosporin and a bandage on it for 3 days and then left it to air out. it healed, hardly left a scar and for a month I didnt have anything there.

Then just a week or 2 ago, it came back. the dermatologist said all my moles were fine and I would have to pay 300 to get this one removed and that it may leave a scar.

So since I am off work for 11 more days, I started doing the Apple Cider Vinegar treatment again for the hell of it. On tues I started, this day 4 and the skin around my mole is burned, yellowish white, and the mole it self is brownish probably heading toward black. It is hideous and doesnt even seem like the mole is completely turning over. I soaked this thing to death in ACV, and I put coconut oil and scar herbal oil all around the skin to keep it from burnig but it is anyway. I don't think I should put anymore Apple Cider Vinegar on it and give it a rest and let it do what it needs to do. I'm more worried about the surrounding skin.... but I'll let you know how it goes.

Hello Chimcheree, I have the SAME issue :( I started using Apple Cider Vinegar on my mole about 3 days ago, I didn't put anything to protect the surrounding skin and now its an ugly looking burn but my mole is now flat and it feels like a scab but the mole and the surrounding skin now feels like one whole scab :( I stopped using the Apple Cider Vinegar & I put Neosporin on it. Did your mole go away? Did your burned skin heal? Do you have a scar? Pleaseee help!! Thanks

Yes! My facial mole is gone and has never returned (now writing this is 2013)!! ACV really does work and WILL permanently remove a mole if done properly. I hope you had/have the same success as I did.

I'm trying this ACV on 2 moles. The first is on my neck and I've had this mole for maybe 15 years. It's slightly raised and the size of maybe a little larger than a pencil eraser. The second mole is on my shoulder and very raised and also about the size of a pencil eraser. I've had this mole my entire life. I've been used ACV for about a week on both. The first few days I did the cotton under a band aid saked in ACV at night. Then I decided this was really excessive and just soaked a Q-tip and heald it on the mole for a few minutes a couple times a day.

The mole on my neck swelled slightly at first, but then eventually turned black, flattened and scabbed out. I'm trying my darndest not to pick at it and to let it heal on it's own. After about a week, I'm deciding not to put any more ACV on it to let the scab dry out and heal normally like any scap.

My mole on my shoulder is a determined little bugger. It only forms the black scab on the top, but not the sides. What I started doing a couple days ago was after I put chap stick on the skin around the mole to prevent from blistering, I use the cap of the chap stick, fill it with ACV, bend over pressing the cap to my skin around my mole and the stand up letting the ACV soak around my entire mole. This mole swells alot after I do this. It's really gross, but intriguing. It doesn't burn that much or anything. More like a tingle at this point. I'm giving this mole 2 more weeks, then it's off to get the big slice!

I have been putting ACV on a mole on my face for about 3 days. It isnt that big. Basically the mole is really harda and flat now and I think it is basically a scab. Do I continue to put the ACV on it? Should I pick the scab? Will it leave a scar?

9 days ago I started treatment to remove a mole the size of a pencil eraser on my inner thigh with apple cider vinegar. I placed a cotton ball in the Apple Cider Vinegar for the first 4 days and changed it every so often to make sure it was still moist. I placed a gauze pad over it and taped it on with some surgical tape. Day 3 I was terrified and thought what have I done?! ?! ?! My mole had swelled up twice the size and was a milky white color (not pinkish brown like before) and it was very tender to touch and to even walk because of the placement of my mole. I had seriously thought about quitting and try to heal my mole back to normal. I didn't quit!! On about day 4 to today (day 9) I let my mole have air time and also I still put Apple Cider Vinegar on it but not as often as before. Today is day 9 and my mole is not tender and twice the size but is now flat and scabbed over. I would recommend depending on where your mole is to put vaseline or chap stick or some sort of barrier around your mole so you don't burn your skin. I made the mistake of shaving my legs and not putting vaseline around my mole and my skin is very burned right now and I'm trying to heal that up as that does hurt lol. Also it does sting some with putting the Apple Cider Vinegar on the mole and make sure to squeeze the cotton ball so the Apple Cider Vinegar isn't dripping. So far I am very pleased with the results and I will update as soon as anything else happens! :)

Yeah it should turn white and then black. Once it is black, I would limit it to once a day. I think it depends really on how large the mole is and how long it was there in terms of scarring potential. If it popped up and is fairly new, it shouldn't scar and once it turns black don't pick at it, let it fall off by itself and there shouldn't be a scar. Works well on sunspots too.

Posted by Mal (Ar) on 06/10/2015

Once it is Black (took mine 2 1/2 days I would def. stop the treatment) let it scab and fall off. It takes patience. I got a little scared to leave it on too long. Glad I only left it for 2 1/2 days. By day 4 it is off but chemical burn and dry skin. Going to take more time.

I have the same placement but mine is completely flat but very large in size. I am now just trying this treatment and I'm really hoping it works. I hate having to wear bandaids over it for dance recitals and hate being asked about it.

I think it may work faster with the bandaid, but I would try it without if you like. Bandaids can cause damage to skin for some people.

Hello everyone. I have been doing some research about removing moles with ACV. I have always been very insecure about my moles and I personally find them very ugly. I have 3, flat, very small ones on my face. They are placed in a awkward position and I absolutely hate them. I want them gone. I have trying this method for about 3 days now but I thought I would give you some feedback. I started on a Saturday night and it's Tuesday morning. I started off with putting ACV on a Q-Tip and and leaving it on my mole for about 2-3 minutes. I was sure to put Vaseline around the mole (DO NOT PUT IT ON THE MOLE) so that way it didn't leave burn marks. I saw some people saying they rough it up with a needle but Im too scared to do that I don't want scars. I did that and then stopped. Before I went to sleep I decided to do it again but differently. I wanted to be able to get this process done by sleeping with it on. I took small pieces of a cotton ball and saturated it in ACV and put it exactly on the mole and put a band aid on it. I did not put Vaseline on it because the band aid wouldn't stay. I woke up the next morning took it off and it was red all around the mole. I didn't think it was a big deal I just thought it was burnt from the acid in the ACV. The mole wasnt black but it was a darker shade of brown. That day I dabbed more ACV with a Q-Tip and made sure I put the Vaseline around the mole. I did this about 2 times throughout the day. Around nighttime I repeated the band aid procedure. When I woke up I was terrorized. On the two moles by my nose it was dark brown around the mole and very irritated. It was kind of scanned but not really. On the mole above my upper lip it was very red around it and it had a white ring around the mole. It was also kind of swelled. It looked as if I got stung by a bee. I didn't know how to treat it so I just left it. I didn't put ANYTHING on it or around it. At around 3:00pm I decided to put the band aids on it again. At around 6:30 I took them off and checked it. Nothing has changed but I kind of played around with it. I took the cotton off the end of a Q-Tip and kind of poked at the dark brown skin around the mole to see if it would come off. I didn't want to completely take it off because I didn't want a scar. Some of it came off so I knew if I repeated the band aid process for a couple more days it will eventually fall off. On the mole by my lip the white ring and swelling has not changed. I started picking at that too but I noticed it didn't have the dark brown skin around it. Only redness and a white ring. So I picked at the mole and it started to come off. I left it alone like the other because I didn't want scaring! I let the moles kind of breathe and left them alone for about 5 hours. When I went to sleep I did the ACV and band aid process again. It is really early in the morning and I have not taken them off yet. Hopefully by the morning I will find a difference in the moles. If anyone could please give me more suggestions besides the ACV. I don't want to try the garlic or anti-dandruff shampoo. And I will not cut my moles. I heard it is very dangerous because the acid in the ACV is going into you're facial tissues and killing it. If anyone can point anything out that I might be doing wrong please do so! I will post a feedback on how it wound up in a couple days! Thank you :)

I believe the white ring is due to your body's process of rejecting the mole. Most skin tags and moles are actually skin viruses, instead of shrinking the mole, it may be trying to remove it's self. The white ring represents the barrier between the "healthy" skin and the mole. Keep the area moisterized to avoid scarring. Vitamine E.

Look into a miraculous product called "black salve" youll see some scary stuff about it, it is potent. I can attest to its efficacy, I have used it on myself as well as three other people.

Good luck!

Adding baking soda to apple cider vinegar will neutralize the acidity of the vinegar. This is the likely reason why your skin did not burn.

Does the mole get black and really ugly? Wondering if I need to cover it with a bandaid when I go to work so I don't gross people out. I would like to remove a raised mole on my face and it sounds like your method does not cause burns, which is great. I will wait for your response before I attempt this.
